ABSTRACT
A 66-year-old male presented with a torose lesion at the duodenal bulb, detected via endogastroduodenoscopy(EGD) during a medical check-up. It was histopathologically diagnosed as a low-grade adenoma. He was referred to the Department of Gastroenterology for follow-up observation. An endoscopic mucosal resection(EMR)was performed due to the increasing tumor size. The pathological findings of the resected specimen showed a tubular adenoma. The patient was then followed up as an outpatient. Two months later, a follow-up EGD revealed a mass lesion, suspected to be a remnant tumor. A laparoscopic distal gastrectomy, #3, #4sb, #5, #6 dissection, and Billroth â ¡+Braun anastomosis reconstruction were performed. Pathological examination showed a tubular adenocarcinoma in adenoma, tub1, with depth M, and no lymph node metastasis. Non-papillary duodenal carcinoma is a rare disease that has no established guidelines for radical surgery and the extent of lymph node dissection. Pancreaticoduodenectomy is often performed in advanced cases. However, due to the increasing number of patients and the risk of complications, limited resection should be considered as an alternative management option.
